Living in the concrete jungle which is totally disconnected with the nature, are you really aware of the real condition of your residential place? And how much should a radio sold for $4.99 reasonably cost? Why are we guys so found of buying “objects”? Why are we wasting quite a few things? And why we are unlikely to get much happier as we’ve expected, even if we are becoming wealthier? What should we believe in? How should we deal with all these stuff, and with what?
To seek for the answers to the listed questions, we may overlook the sustainable image in the bird view. You are welcome to join us with your smile and open mind, and participate in the discussions on the concepts of fairness, justice, health, simplicity and the real look of happiness, so as to regain these fundamental elements of life.
Suppose that the history of our planet was shortened to just one day, than how shall we describe it? Just come to our mini-workshop and figure out the answer! What’s more, we are going to turn the history of our planet into an animation via our own paintings as the birthday gift for our Mother Earth.
